That is pretty small, most will say it's too small. The biggest problem here that I have had is water stability in such a small aquarium. This particular nemo fish is really delicate. A Hippo Tang is certainly one that I would recommend waiting until your tank is mature, then putting money down and having the LFS hold it for a while to make sure it will make it. Good idea to see it feed too. My tangs were big on the Formula I & II frozen food (thawed) for what it is worth.. (Oh, please don't post in multiple forums - ASAP board should be enough.)
